Not this again!
I researched this feverishly a few months back. I started a similar thread that induced a lengthy debate. As always with this topic, no one agreed on anything.
Here is my opinion: Despite what others may say I believe the crank shaft pulley IS in fact a harmonic dampener (NOT a harmonic balancer). The debate over this will never be settled. What I think most of us can agree on, however, is that the performance benefits of a new crank pulley are marginal at best. When we weigh the possible costs against these marginal gains it seems apparent that a pulley simply isn't worth it. Despite what you believe why would you put your engine at risk (even if only perceived) for what amounts to very minimal benefit?
My 2 cents...
